I think I just got distracted by your statement that Q was a neccessary condition for P, when it isn't.
Actually it is.
If I say that if a throw a ball (P) it will fall (Q) due to gravity.
You can never, ever say that I threw a ball (P) if it didn't fell (Q) - henceforth the fall is a necessary observation for stating that the throw happened.
If you look at it over time, yes Q happens after P, but even so, logically Q is a necessary condition/observation to affirm P.
